[Bug] upload and upload_multiple fields don't work as subfields inside relationship

[tabacitu]

Bug report

What I did

Tried to use upload and upload_multiple inside Cave and Story.

What I expected to happen

Work.

What happened

Uploads do not get saved, do not get shown.

What I've already tried to fix it

Nothing

Is it a bug in the latest version of Backpack?

v4.2 / v5 - whatever you call it

Alternative - create a field that works similarly (uploads without elFinder), but does work as subfield. Eg. dropzone or media

maybe a good temporary solution to just show the images in the subfield and a link to the crud for the related model? Like type: upload_multiple_view_only

That would work for me, the user can see the related items with images and if it needs to be edited they can do that in another view.

Hmm... that would work in some use cases, indeed... but it wouldn't actually be a FIELD then, it would be a COLUMN (read-only)... so I don't think the use case is broad enough to warrant building it.

I'm moving this to v5.2 but I don't really think we should do this. Rather than bending the upload and upload_multiple fields to work like this (which I expect will be very complicated), I think it's smarter to just create an alternative field.

Yup - I agree with past-me. Let's do a different field for this. Probably Laravel-Backpack/community-forum#20 or Laravel-Backpack/community-forum#28 or both. KISS.
